Cute Somethings

Good day all friendly stampers!  Once again Friday is here and it's time for another Stamp Something challenge.  This week we'd like you to join us in making some 'Cute Somethings'.

This is the perfect theme for this week's challenge as our sponsor is Wags 'n Whiskers.  They are having a blog hop today so head on over to the Stamp Something challenge site to get more information!  I hope you have time to go join in on their fun.  They are celebrating their newest release of some wonderfullly cute, CUTE stamps.

Wags 'n Whiskers kindly provided the DT with images from their new release.  I was thrilled to get 'Just for You' to work with.  Isn't he just adorable with his two flowers?  A little broken perhaps, but it's the thought that counts, right??  haha.

I had to cut this image out so he'd work on the dark DP.  Well... I'll have to admit, I had to cut him out anyway.  After I'd colored up the image, I decided to color around it and chose to use yellow.  Well... I picked the very worst color of yellow imaginable!!!  Truly, it was garish!!  I just couldn't stand to leave it on there.  Just goes to show, there are many paths that take us to our end result!!  : )

The layout for this card is from Taylored Expressions.  I just love her sketches.  Thanks Taylor!  I'll also enter it into By the Cute and Girly for their theme of LOVE.

I hope you'll have time to go look at all the great cards the other Stamp Something DT members created.  They are just great!!  We hope you can join in this week too!

Thanks so much for visiting today.  I always love it when you stop by.

Good morning stampers!  It's Friday and that is always a good thing!!

Today is another new Stamp Something challenge and what a great one it is!!  This week, Sketch Something... a sketch is being provided by Denise (the other one) to help you get started with your project.  Isn't it a great one?!?!?!

Here's what I've come up.

Isn't this image just precious???  Our sponsor this week is Wags 'n Whiskers and they have generously supplied each DT member a stamp that's now available with their new release.  This little cutie is called Bear Hug.  It makes me think of giving your best buddy a big ole squeeze!!  After all, we can't ever get too many hugs, can we?!

Now... for the sentiment I used a rub on.  I have never done that before!!  I always felt it was a little like cheating.  I mean if you're a stamper, you must stamp!!  Now I think... oh phooey!  That's just plain silly!  Stampers are able to do a multitude of things and placing a little transparency to your project should be one of them.  : )  Anyway, I ended up kinda liking it (but I'll still stamp more often than not).  Of course, even with this simple task I have room for improvement!  I got a corner kinda folded over, ever so slightly.  Then, when attempting to fix it, it got worse instead of better, so I just stopped and didn't touch it any more!!!  heeheehee.  Something else to add to my 'improve on' list!!

I hope you'll have time to join us this week at Stamp Something.  We'd love to see you.  Thanks for stopping in today.  As always, your comments are very heart-warming to me and I so appreciate your taking the time to leave one!
